Buffalo Chicken and Sweet Potato Meatza

April 11, 2012

Shut your face. Stop praising me. I’m not a genius. I did not come up with this recipe. Well, I guess I kind of did, but then a reader added the sweet potato idea and I couldn’t resist. Could not resist this little meat excitement. I recreated Meatza My Way the other day and had mentioned about making a buffalo style meatza. It is now real. You could touch it.

Have you ever woke up with your heart beating out of control? It’s not a fun feeling. You see, I got to sleep in until 6:30am the other day and about crapped myself when I woke up around 6:15am and it was light outside. I’m not used to having any sort of sunlight coming in my windows when my alarm goes off at 4:15am. So since I forgot it was my sleep in day, my heart rate was raised to around 200 beats per minute. And that’s high. I just googled it.

I hate being a member of Living Social and Groupon deals. I need to unsubscribe or whatever you do to stop receiving 8 emails a day from them. Just because it’s 75% off doesn’t mean I have the money to get a massage weekly. Or pedicure. I don’t want to pay someone to be grossed out by my feet. I have that job. It doesn’t pay well.

OMG GUESS WHAT?! PaleOMG headbands are back in stock and ready to wear! If you’re still working out, or walking down the street, or going to the grocery store WITHOUT ONE, your life is not complete. That’s a lie, but it will really be a great addition to your wonderful head. I just know it. So check out Renegade Fitness and grab yourself a shirt and a headband. Check out these ladies!!

PaleOMG likes trails...ok Jessica does. And looks damn good in that shirt!

meant to tell you that I tried plantains out at a restaurant after you posted the beef and plantain recipe and now I’m hooked. But I know I could make them better at home with some coconut oil etc… can’t wait to try out your recipe!

Yo mac ~ try carrying around beef jerky, boiled eggs, celery sticks stuffed w/ almond butter (put them together butter-to-butter side and stick ’em in a plastic bag), a chicken drumstick . . . ok some of these won’t work if you don’t have a cooler or maybe a fridge at work, but these have worked for me.

haha I like the idea of just poppin out a drumstick during work at my desk.

Just finished making this to take to work tomorrow. I was skeptical at first but had total faith in your amazing recipes. YUP this one did not disappoint! OH. MY. GOODNESS.
Now I am cooking the Pistachio-pesto-chicken for dinner. I have never enjoyed cooking as much as I do since finding your blog. I have been noshing on the no bake Apple pie for days now.
My husband greatly appreciates you :-)

Wow-that was a lot of delicious meat! The sweet potato/hot sauce combo was awesome! Very yummy and we had leftovers for lunch and dinner.
On a side note– I feel like a stalker because my hubby and I check your website 24/7 and feel like we know you. We always talk about how we would have a blast hanging out with you, but you don’t even know us. I just wanted to let you know that we are creepers and totally appreciate your blogging about paleo and crossfit–our two favorite things!

made some tonight but had different meat ingredients and i added an apple… not sure why, it just sounded good. it looks and smells delicous.. thanks for the awesome recipes.. My family thanks you for your awesome recipes. If not for these,they would not be eating :)

I loved this…although I didn’t exactly follow the recipe exactly. I misread the ingredients and added butternut squash instead. AND I didn’t bake the hamburger, just browned it in a skillet, then added the ground turkey (didn’t have ground chicken), and I didn’t have garlic powder so I minced a couple of garlic cloves. AND I have two young children who do not like SPICY, so we just set the sauce on the table and my husband added it to his plate. So, it was a hit! My revision/mishap worked! Thank you for the recipe!

I made it twice now!! Yum!! The second time I only had chicken and sweet potatoes. I made it anyway and it was great and yummy even without the beef!! And really really quick!! Will make again tomorrow!! Thanks

OMG is right! I made this tonight and holy moly is it good! I tweaked it a bit. Used half the beef ( seemed like a lot ) and put an egg into the beef mixture to hold it all together. I will definatley be making this again. Thanks

eating this now. wow, that’s pretty tasty. i actually made the “crust” from 1# beef and 1# pork, b/c that’s what i had on hand. I also messed up and put the spices in the crust too… but a little extra spice sure didn’t hurt.

I made this for dinner last night and made 4 peeps (myself included) VERY happy! It was delish!! After the three men I was eating with had seconds, there was very little leftover (I thought we’d have leftovers for a few days). And what WAS left, was split up for lunches today. Keep rockin it sista! I LOVE everything about your site. Yes, everything. Especially when you say “holy balls”. Makes me giggle every time.

I LOVE this!!! And my husband loves it too (which is a miracle because he is very anti Paleo foods). My favorite things all combined in a wonderful Paleo dish. Thank you for figuring this out and posting it!!

First off – this was AWESOME!!!!! It got a 4 thumbs up from my husband and both of my kids!!! This is the second day of our lifestyle change! I threw out all the pasta, cereal, bread, etc. this morning much to my kids (and hubby’s) dismay! Last night’s meal was so-so but I came across your site and found this recipe. We haven’t gone ‘completely’ paleo at this point, as we still plan to use some dairy, but sparingly. I didn’t have ground chicken so I diced the chicken breasts into small chunks and we didn’t have sweet potatoes so I used a granny smith apple and it was amazing!!! The apple gave it an extra kick and I liked the diced chicken for a change in texture. I added chunks of mozzarella to the top very sparingly too – but honestly it wasn’t necessary. Like I said – we a totally new to this lifestyle – but this was awesome for my family!!! Thank you!

Thanks for this recipe, I am actually having this for lunch this very instant. It turned out to be extremely tasty and spicy, just the way I like it. The only thing I really changed was I topped it off with guacamole, since I am addicted to it. I was skeptical about adding guac to it, but I don’t think adding it to anything can do harm to any base recipe. I also added actual finely chopped fresh garlic to the beef instead of the powder. It just adds to the prep time but adds so much more to the taste and flavor.

I am not normally a fan of hot sauce but this was very good. Only had 1lb ground beef defrosted so I used that and I cubed chicken breast into small pieces. I also added mushrooms. I cooked the sweet potatoes a little too long before adding the chicken so they ended up mashed towards the end but it was still very good.

I love your website and this recipe has been my GO TO since converting to Paleo about 3 years ago! I just recently started doing IRL Cooking shows on Twitch (in addition to other games I play) and featured this recipe on there. Hopefully that is ok?! I hope to feature a few more of your recipes that I love also.

Please feel free to check it out and I would love to see more meatloaf recipes in the future! <3
